This creative writing course is designed to for all MA Literature and Cultural Studies students (including those who are curious about creative writing and interested in developing their creative voice but have no prior experience). The purpose of the course is for students to achieve a higher degree of nuance, fluency, and aesthetic expertise in their ability to both analyze and produce narrative texts. The language competence themes of the course are:
- literary techniques and storytelling design
- rhetorical devices and aesthetic/emotional engagement of the
audience
- language play
- some limited examination of visual and spoken rhetoric when relevantAims:
- to develop writing skills needed to produce a range of aesthetic, engaging, coherent, and cohesive texts embedded in a social, cultural environment.
- to increase competence in identifying and using significant lexical, grammatical, stylistic, narrative, and visual/spoken features of a text.
- to develop confidence in employing imagination, creativity, and self-expression.
- to reflect critically on self-produced work and the work of others.
- to develop skills in text mediation.Objectives: After completing the course, students can
- give a critical appraisal of works of different narrative genres appreciating subtle distinctions of style.
- recognize and use the finer subtleties of nuanced language, rhetorical effect, and stylistic language (e.g. metaphors, repetition, irony, alliteration, intertextual reference, dialogue, setting details, point of view, character development).
- critically evaluate the way in which structure, language, and rhetorical devices are exploited in a work for a particular purpose.
- give a critical appreciation of deliberate breaches of linguistic conventions in a piece of writing.
- describe in detail their own emotional response to a work outlining their reactions to certain features and explaining the significance.
- produce clear, detailed, well-structured, and developed imaginative texts in an assured, personal, natural style appropriate to the reader in mind.
- exploit storytelling and rhetorical devices appropriately to enhance the impact of a text.Methods:
Communicative language practice; project-based learning; genre analysis; production and mediation of aesthetic, narrative genres drawing upon a process and workshop approach to writing.
